Play BS Super Mario USA - Dai-1-kai Online

BS Super Mario USA - Dai-1-kai is one of those weird, forgotten Mario games that feels like stumbling into an alternate universe. It’s basically Super Mario Bros. 2 (the one where you throw turnips at Shy Guys), but repackaged for Japan’s old satellite gaming service—complete with a timer ticking down as you scramble through levels. The vibe is oddly frantic, like someone took Mario and gave it a game show energy.

What’s cool is how rare this thing is. You couldn’t just buy it in stores—it was beamed to players for a limited time in the ‘90s, so playing it now feels like digging up buried treasure. Same vegetable-chucking and dreamy desert landscapes as the original, but with this weird broadcast overlay that makes it feel like you’re part of some lost Nintendo experiment. If you’re into obscure Mario history, this is a fun little rabbit hole to fall into.
